Suicide

This is how I cope, I write.

Suicide

 

suicide is selfish

that's what they say

they don't know what its like

to deal with the pain

day after day

 

not feeling good enough

worthless and useless

it gets rough

not knowing what's in store for tomorrow

it can be tough

 

feeling like your drowning

unable to breathe

you cant stay afloat

not knowing what to do

you lose all control

 

you don't wake up one day

thinking i'm going to die

its a process

a hard one at that

it takes a lot of time

 

what I don't understand

is why it selfish

of course I have my family

friends

but they don't need me

 

I swallow the pills

cut my wrists

hold that gun to my head

thinking

wishing I was dead

 

in the end

I know its selfish

leaves me thinking

holding on to that simple wish

please just let my life end

I feel your pain in this poem Hannah. Very emotional and heart-wrenching. I'm always here if you ever need someone to talk to.
